is your question how tou migrate your ufw setup to nftables? I think nfw is just on top of iptables, so in the best case it would abstract the underlying firewall system (iptables/nftables) for you. If ufw doesn't, you may need to rewrite your firewall rules. nftables also provides an iptable compatibility tool. That is, my /usr/sbin/iptable symlinks to an nftables binary. So maybe nfw doesn't need to change? Finally, there is also firewalld, which abstracts between iptables and nftables... firewalld is an alternative to ufw. anyway. I don't know. This is probably not the best place to ask for advice on nfw/nftables :) best, Thomas _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
